Answer:
a b c e
Step-by-step explanation:
To find slope, y2-y1/x2-x1
9-6/-3-(-9)=
3/6= 1/2
Slope = 1/2.
Y=1/2x.
Answer:
7.5 short tons
Step-by-step explanation:
16 3/10 - 8 4/5 = 7.5
The simultaneous equations are
2x - 7y = 4 (1)
3x + y = -17 (2)
Write (2) as
y = - 3x - 17 (3)
Substitute (3) into (1).
2x - 7(-3x - 17) = 4
2x + 21x + 119 = 4
23x = -115
x = -5
This is the equation obtained after substituting y from the second equation into the first equation.
The solution for y is
y = -3(-5) - 17 = -2
Answer: x = -5
Note: The solution is x = -5, y = -2.
